Andrew Schumann is associate professor at the Department of Philosophy and Science Methodology at the Belarusian State University, Minsk, Belarus. His research focuses on logic and philosophy of science with an emphasis on non-well-founded phenomena: self-references and circularity. He contributed mainly to such research areas as reasoning under uncertainty, probability reasoning, non-Archimedean mathematics, as well as their applications to cognitive science.

About the Contributors
This highly ambitious and wide-ranging study brings to light important chapters in the modern history of logic and philosophy of science, developed in Central and Eastern Europe, and scarcely known in the West, regrettably. It is a very valuable contribution.
— Noam Chomsky, Laureate Professor, University of Arizona
This book is an important source on the 20th-century philosophical logic and analytic philosophy. The collected material is absolutely unique and exclusive.
— Dov M. Gabbay, professor, Department of Computer Science, King's College London
The history of science, mathematics and philosophy in Eastern Europe is largely a Terra Incognita in Western Europe and the USA. Andrew Schumann's new book is an illuminating work that casts light on many hitherto dark places and will open many minds in many different disciplines.
